[eu-gene] Flash, Max/MSP/Jiter, C++? + generative art

[Meredith Baxter]

I'm an art student in atlanta and I'm researching generative art for an 
independent study this semester. 
 I basically need advice about resources where I can learn about different 
mathematical patterns and concepts and get access to equations that I might 
be able to reproduce in a strict or altered fashion within Max/MSP/Jitter or 
Flash. Also considering programming something new in C++.
 Any good open-source sites?
 I'm interested in self-organizing systems, emergent patterns, etc. I could 
go in several directions with this research:
 1. Reproduce existing structures (fractals etc etc) within a new context, 
using imagery etc to add concrete concept to abstract forms
 2. Remap existing mathematical patterns that often result in still 2-d 
images into time-based (video, animation) imagery.
 3. Starting with research into mathematical systems, transform the research 
I discover into an interactive piece with content beyond the abstract.
